Overview

Spending limits protect against overspending and add an extra layer of control over card usage. You can set a daily limit on your overall card wallet, which applies as a cap across all cards within the account. Card-level limits can also be set at card creation time.
Card-level spending limits (set during card creation) are independent of wallet-level daily limits. Both apply simultaneously — the more restrictive limit takes precedence.
interface SpendingLimits {
  daily_limit: number;
  weekly_limit?: number;
  monthly_limit?: number;
  currency: string;
  current_daily_spend: number;
  reset_at: string;
}

interface SetSpendingLimitRequest {
  daily_limit: number;
}

  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "daily_limit": 1000.00
  }'

{
  "status": "success",
  "data": {

Remove Daily Limit

To remove the daily spending limit entirely, set daily_limit to null: 
curl -X PUT 'https://crypto-api.yativo.com/api/yativo-card/yc_01HX9KZMB3F7VNQP8R2WDGT4E5/wallet/limits' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "daily_limit": null
  }'

{
  "status": "success",
  "data": {
    "yativo_card_id": "yc_01HX9KZMB3F7VNQP8R2WDGT4E5",
    "daily_limit": null,
    "currency": "USD",
    "updated_at": "2026-03-25T17:05:00Z"
  }
}
Removing spending limits increases risk exposure. Only remove limits if you have other controls in place, such as low card balances or card-level limits.
